6 2 5 5 4 5 6 3 7 6 8 4 7 7 6 7 8 5 9 8 11 7 10 10 9 10 11 8 12 11 11 7 10 10 9 10 11 8 12 11 10 6 9 9 8 9 10 7 11 10 11 7 10 10 9 10 11 8 12 11

Given the above sequence, find the next 10 values. Then, find the 473rd value.

(ps if you find a pattern that works except for one or two values somewhere in there, it might be my tired brain's fault.)

The first term listed (6) is the 0th term of the sequence (the 2 is the first term).

Next 10 terms (71-80, I think) would be 5 8 8 7 8 9 6 10 9 13.

Term 473 would be 12.

Next 10 values: 12 8 11 11 10 11 12 9 13 12

473rd value: 12

13 9 12 12 11 12 13 10 14 13

and the 473rd value is 55.

A big hint was asking to "find the next 10 values" That got me thinking in groups of 10. There is probably a quick and "easy" way to figure out what the 473rd value is but I'm not that smart so I wrote down all the numbers. Now MY brain is tired. Thanks.

Nope. But I'd love to hear how you got that.

You miscounted the number of terms (I'm looking for 60-69).

Yep! That's correct!

Add up the number of line segments making up the digital version of each number, eg:

6 is:

._

|_

|_| = 6 line segments

So 473 is:

......._...._

|_|.....|...._|

..|.....|...._| = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12
